Hmmm.  That should update itself to 1803 almost the same second you let
it anywhere near a network.

Anyway, the only time I've seen similar behaviour was when some other
library was occupying the address space the systems libraries should
have occupied, and the they get some extremely random address assigned
until the next reboot.  To do this the other library must however be
loaded pretty early in the boot process.  If you wrote the mail on said
laptop, this

might be an explanation for the whole thing.  AVG is well known for
intercepting things already during boot and loading a bunch of their
libraries early.  Some of it is still done even if you switch it off
completely and some changes to the registry might even survive a
deinstallation.

It sounds like you've already spent way more time with that problem than
you thought you would, but my suggestion is to try a clean boot of a
stock Windows installation.  You can install one into a VHD and
(multi-)boot into it without affecting your existing installation beyond
the space taken up by the VHD file (german magazine c't has described
both a manual way of doing that and developed a script that prepares the
VHD so that it just needs to complete the installation when first
booted).  If that works OK without your current problems, you can then
decide whether to keep a separate boot environment, trying to fix your
existing install or wiping the pre-installed Windows and doing a fresh
install on bare iron.

Achim.
